It is now over twenty days since the thaw. and notwithstanding the fact-that many skilled crews of men came here from other pro- vinces, who have worked long hours. and restored most of the transmission lines, there are still many distribution lines down and homea without light. and some with only inadequate heat from anv source.

TRANSMISSION LINES Transmission lines in this pro- vince have been carried on wooden poles, and have either followed the highways or gone through areas that have a large proportion of cultivated lands. so that the right- of-ways have not been difficult to maintain. Travellers are quite familiar with the giant steel tow- ers that carry the high-voltage transmisaionallnes from the great hydro developments that have been constructed during this century in Canada.

A great deal has been written concerning the generation of elect- ricity, and we have seen the Ont- ario hydroelectric plants at Niag- ara; the Grand ti-ulee Dam, on

assistance of chemists. namely the destruction or control of woody plant growth.

These power lilies are laid out as directly as possible, and some of them pass through long distances of forest cover, w ere trees quick- ly spring up after he initial clear- ing of the right-of-way. These must be checked on 75,000 acres of land in Ontario, in order that equipment may be moved to effect emerg- ency repairs, and that trees may be prevented from reaching up to the wires or from coming near the conductors. -

TREES AND SIIIIUBS Trees and shrubs were cut by hand until about six years ago, as the only practical control method. Within a year or two, copplcoi growth from stumps grew up to three to five feet in height, and had to be cut again. These cuttings did not destroy the trees or shrubs. Hydro's chemical research men, however, now secure better control with chemical herbicide sprays.

In supplying power to their cus- tomers. the, electric plants in our Canadian provlnces have the pro blem of a comparatively smol' population spread over large areas. Prince Edward Island is more for- l tunate than the others. in having about 48 persons per square mile. Newfoundland, including Labrador. anl Manitoba have the least, with only about 2.7 persons per square mile; British Columbia has about 3.5 persons; Alberta and Saskat- chewan each: Quebec has 8.4 oersons: Ont- ario li persons: New Brunswick 20 persons and Nova Scotia about 88 persons per square mile. In com- parlson with an European ooiinlry. we find that France has 200 per- sons for every souare mile of land.

ONTARIO HYDRO

Ontario, with about one-tenth of the land area of Canada. including itsterritories. and with about one- thlrd of its population. is used to illustrate some of the problems in- volved in maintaining the huge net- work of power lines that serve its hydro customers. Ontario has 15.-
